Chapitre 117: Formation of Axelsen & Nielsen Electric Manufacturing Company Part 2

"Okay moving on, after we have the place, let's move on to the power plant itself. As it is located in the coal-rich regions, the power plant would be coal-fired and can produce up to 20 megawatts, and can power an entire city. For context, James Russell's Pearl Street Station in New York City had an initial capacity of about 700 kilowatts and served about 85 customers in a one-mile radius. But as the years go on, they are increasing their capacity to meet up the demands." 

"Twenty megawatts, that's quite a lot, given the fact that the primary use of electricity was for street lighting, some industrial applications, and limited residential use only." 

"We will have to take account of the future demands as well," Poul said. "And didn't I tell you before? We are not only going to produce electricity but make technology that uses electricity as well such as home appliances and the likes."
